Food Rescue to … The Rescue ...: Industry Night, October 11, 2022

Last week was the Historic White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. I know this doesn’t sound like rocket science but if people eat healthily they are less likely to suffer from illness — but access to fresh fruit and vegetables and other non-processed foods are unavailable and out of reach for so many. This isn’t the first time that we’ve talked about food deserts or the economic disparity when it comes to access on Industry Night and it won’t be the last. Today I talk with people who are trying to make hunger a thing of the past through another issue we talk about a lot eliminating food waste: Kate Urbank & Colleen Gillespie both of Food Rescue US, a nonprofit food recovery organization that works with volunteers to pick up donations and then directs it to community organizations and with them Dave & Luther Kiyvra of To Be Well Fed & Chris Holland the Community Relations Manager from Wegmans. We’re tackling ways to end hunger and eliminate food waste. Listen to the full episode here.
